Fun(?) fact, companions in FNV have recorded dialogue of them screaming in agony over being burned. It never made it into the final game, but it’s still pretty horrifying to listen to

what I really wish I could do instead was make Harold sleep eternally, comatose essentially, so that bob can keep spreading trees.

@@Cunnysmythe good point, but he did say that something was dragging his friends in the stuff right before he blacked out, so we can assume from the dialogue and context that the thing put him in as well. Check out the dialogue at 1:21
@@Tommy15670Harold never mentioned falling into the FEV vats in fallout 1. He was knocked unconscious and woke up in the wasteland, where he started mutating. Same thing he says both here and in Fallout 1.
It is stated that every vault was equipped with, on holodisk, the entire library of congress, and given that FEV was an old subject by the time the Great War happened, it isn't unlikely they learned about it.
From James (their dad.) Remember, the FO3 player character wasn't born in the vault, just raised there. James was a wasteland doctor who had a lot of knowledge about secret projects - he knew about the Enclave, knew about the GECKs and about Vault-Tec's experiments, and considering there were FEV experiments in Vault 87, it's perfectly reasonable that he would know about it. All it takes is a high science PC paying attention to their dad bringing it up at some point. It's not that crazy.

Well Fallout 3 does take place in the year 2277 (when you meet Harold), which is 116 years after the events of Fallout 1 (Fallout 2 taking place 80 years after the events of Fallout 1) so a lot happens in 116 years.

You go through the FEV vault, Vault 87, in the story and can read some terminals and Fawkes tells you about it too. It's not that hard to find the lore and put the pieces together.
Iirc, Bob was eventually (or immediately) connected directly to Harold's brain, making it so that tampering with him in any way physically could risk serious brain damage, or even death. By the time Bob had grown large enough to plant roots in the ground (theoretically, through Harold's feet) , it was already far too late to do anything about him.
@@anon0092Besides, he probably liked his tree friend before it took root in the ground and enveloped his body and made him stuck in once place for eternity. Well, not eternity. Eventually he will die. The tree ages, so it might rot eventually. And if it doesn't, he'll at least die when the sun explodes. Just might take a while. Not as long as eternity.
How did the lone wanderer know about FEV? It was a classified military secret pre-war and the only people who knew about it post war were on the west coast. Harold didn't even know what FEV was, only that he mutated after coming into contact with some strange green goo at the military Base alongside Richard Grey. Bethesda writing is so poor...
doesnt fallout universe have roborain technology ? you would think they can try to transplant his brain to a robobrain chasis. then transplant to a synth chasis later to regrain human form factor. sugrey might carry some risk, but it's better than straight killing with no upside.
No, why? Synth is in Boston, and prior to lone survivor's action synth is just a boogeyman, and this was set decades prior in DC, miles away. Also transplanting brain to robobrain required a very hard process and it was done in huge facilities, so it's nearly impossible to make Harold into either synth or robobrain
@@drmaulana2600I mean, there is a synth in Fallout 3. Whole quest about him. As a hint to Fallout 4. But I believe the tree has taken root his brain and entire body as well as the ground. It would be impossible to fully remove the roots from the brain at this point. And since the tree is mutated and heals and grows very quickly, he would probably eventually have another tree growing out of his brain. He would probably have to keep cutting it to make sure it doesn't grow too much. I think he's fucked, is what I'm saying.
This is honestly not even in the top 5 weirdest fallout things, maybe not even in the top 10 or more. That said in case you don't know, Harold's state is from the Forced Evolutionary Virus aka FEV.

Some of the things FEV can make is flesh chimeras like the monsters known as centaurs, supermutants and their variants, various monsters such as those in 76, and psykers who are people with supernatural/psychic abilities.
